Chelsea Football Club has been eliminated from the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie at Stamford Bridge this evening. PSG advance to the quarter-finals with an emphatic 8-2 aggregate victory.
The Blues entered the home leg trailing 5-2 from the first encounter at the Parc des Princes on 11 March, where goals from Malo Gusto and Enzo Fernández had twice levelled the score before a late collapse saw PSG run out 5-2 winners. Despite a determined performance in front of a passionate Stamford Bridge crowd, Chelsea were unable to overturn the three-goal deficit as the defending champions proved too clinical.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for PSG in the 6th minute, with Bradley Barcola adding a second just eight minutes later. Senny Mayulu sealed the result with a 62nd-minute strike, ensuring PSG progressed comfortably on aggregate.
Head Coach Liam Rosenior said: “We came into this tie knowing the challenge ahead after the first leg, and the players gave everything they had tonight. PSG are a very strong side and deserved to go through. We will now turn our full focus to the Premier League and the remaining fixtures as we fight for our objectives this season.”
Chelsea FC extends its congratulations to Paris Saint-Germain on their progression and thanks the supporters for their unwavering backing throughout the European campaign. The club will provide further updates on squad plans and the upcoming domestic schedule in due course.
